1 organization in
Oakland that take in and rehome beagles, hounds, and other dogs. Always call
ahead to confirm current beagle availability.
Oakland is a small town in Garrett County's mountains, and beagle availability here is simple: one organization, Garrett County Government Animal Shelter, serves the immediate area. The good news is that this shelter has a solid website where you can scout what's available before you call, and it takes in hounds regularly enough that patience usually pays off. In a town this size, beagles won't always be on the floor on any given day — but you're not stranded. A handful of shelters dot the surrounding towns within an hour's drive, so this page gives you both the local option and the nearby places worth checking if nothing's home right now.
The county animal shelter for Garrett County, Maryland, working to place dogs and cats in permanent homes through adoption and rescue partnerships. It's a mandatory spay-and-neuter facility, so all adopted animals must be altered within 30 days or by six months of age. As an open-admission shelter it takes in strays and surrenders of all kinds, so beagles and hound-mixes turn up regularly—check its PetFinder page or call ahead to see what's currently available.
Start with Garrett County Government Animal Shelter and ask to join their waitlist; they'll tell you when the next beagle arrives. If you need more immediate options, Accident and Westernport are each under twenty miles away, and Cumberland, about forty minutes south, has two shelters. Call ahead to confirm a dog is there before you make the drive — beagle availability shifts fast in rural Maryland. Adopt one of the hounds that turns up here and you're giving a mountain dog a home where it belongs, with someone ready to take it on long Garrett County walks.
